Michel Delacroix
Painter, born 1933
Michel Delacroix is a French painter in the "naif" style. Delacroix was born in Paris. He studied at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand. He has had one man shows as well as group exhibitions in Europe. Delacroix's primitive style in his paintings and graphics combine structure and detail with rich colour to convey the bustling, diverse activity of the streets of Paris.
Delacroix's subjects include street scenes of Paris and other nearby areas of France set during his childhood during the Nazi occupation; he was only seven years old at the time.
The streets of Paris have haunted Michel Delacroix's memories of his childhood and have been the template of his artistic works both in painting and lithography. Delacroix has created a series of illustrations that reflect both his childhood memories as well as his romantic impressions of a Paris of the past. Each color for these limited edition lithographs has been painstakingly recreated and hand drawn in as many as 20 colors by the finest artisans and printed on archival paper. The lush velvety surface, the rich vivid colors, and attention to subtlety and detail, brilliantly combine to yield a work of unsurpassed quality and uncompromising beauty. See less
